In our CrystalSpace-based project, we are using the latest SVN of CEGUI. In order to port the current code to Windows, I am trying to build the application (and its underlying libraries) using solely Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (VC8). I have checked out the latest svn of CEGUI and have tried just using the .sln (solution) file included. However, it fails because it lacks PCRE. Looking at PCRE, it seems I will have to load the files into a VC8 solution file and compile them "manually" (i.e., setting the options and such myself, rather than relying on a pre-made solution file).

While this looks like it will work, it just seems in-elegant to me. I was wondering how y'all compiled the libraries in cs-win32libs for usage with VC8? Am I on the right track, or do y'all do something different (and hopefully easier Smiley)?

For anybody who's visited the website or forums in the past several days may have noticed that they were down. This was due to difficulties with our old webhosting provider. We have since switched to a new provider (Dawnet) and are in the process of rebuilding our website and forums. We'll keep y'all posted about our progress!~Brian
